<title>[IPSEC]: Avoid undefined shift operation when testing algorithm ID</title>

<content type='text'>
The aalgos/ealgos fields are only 32 bits wide.  However, af_key tries
to test them with the expression 1 &lt;&lt; id where id can be as large as
253.  This produces different behaviour on different architectures.

The following patch explicitly checks whether ID is greater than 31
and fails the check if that's the case.

We cannot easily extend the mask to be longer than 32 bits due to
exposure to user-space.  Besides, this whole interface is obsolete
anyway in favour of the xfrm_user interface which doesn't use this
bit mask in templates (well not within the kernel anyway).

<title>[IPSEC]: Temporarily remove locks around copying of non-atomic fields</title>

The change 050f009e16f908932070313c1745d09dc69fd62b

	[IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space

caused a regression.

Ingo Molnar reports that it causes a potential dead-lock found by the
lock validator as it tries to take x-&gt;lock within xfrm_state_lock while
numerous other sites take the locks in opposite order.

For 2.6.24, the best fix is to simply remove the added locks as that puts
us back in the same state as we've been in for years.  For later kernels
a proper fix would be to reverse the locking order for every xfrm state
user such that if x-&gt;lock is taken together with xfrm_state_lock then
it is to be taken within it.

Finally, the zero_it argument can be completely removed from
the callers and from the function prototype.

Besides, fix the checkpatch.pl warnings about using the
assignments inside if-s.

This patch is rather big, and it is a part of the previous one.
I splitted it wishing to make the patches more readable. Hope 
this particular split helped.

This patch adds locking so that when we're copying non-atomic fields such as
life-time or coaddr to user-space we don't get a partial result.

For af_key I've changed every instance of pfkey_xfrm_state2msg apart from
expiration notification to include the keys and life-times.  This is in-line
with XFRM behaviour.

The actual cases affected are:

* pfkey_getspi: No change as we don't have any keys to copy.
* key_notify_sa:
	+ ADD/UPD: This wouldn't work otherwise.
	+ DEL: It can't hurt.

<title>[IPSEC]: Move common code into xfrm_alloc_spi</title>

<id>658b219e9379d75fbdc578b9630b598098471258</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core
from af_key/xfrm_user into xfrm_alloc_spi.

In particular, the spin lock on the state is now taken inside xfrm_alloc_spi.
Previously it also protected the construction of the response PF_KEY/XFRM
messages to user-space.  This is inconsistent as other identical constructions
are not protected by the state lock.  This is bad because they in fact should
be protected but only in certain spots (so as not to hold the lock for too
long which may cause packet drops).

The SPI byte order conversion has also been moved.

<title>[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

<content type='text'>
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &amp;init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.
